Balagor walked through the Southern exit of the room. It was a standard sized metal room, airy in its own right but no bigger than most of the rooms around here. It was also intensely cold. Balagor huddled up to himself in spite of his muscular form. The cold was biting.

The room was a rocky cavern but it had frozen over. Icicles hung from the roof overhead and dripped down slowly onto the floor below. Huge sheets of the stuff were covering every surface. It was a strange diversion from the usual metal rooms around here. In spite of everything, Balagor enjoyed that at least. He had never been a big fan of the metal and the strawberry frap filled future.

There was a noise that caught his eye though suddenly. He swirled around to the North as the door swung open. The doors were set into the icy rock wall. It opened rather slowly, creaking free as it did.

"Who goes there?!" He said, expecting a fight. He lowered his guard when he saw.

Walton stepped through into the room from the North, shielding himself from the icy coldness. His breath caught in the air.

"Balagor!" He said.

Balagor grinned and cracked his neck to try and stop it freezing over.

"Good to see you again!" He said, walking forth to meet partway.

*Click*

Balagor stopped suddenly to look down as something below his foot was caught. There was a pressurised slab on the cave floor. He looked up and around as the icicles began to rumble and cracked his neck again.

"Get back by the door Walton!" He urged. Walton looked open mouthed but Balagor just shook his head.

"I got this. Go back to the door. I've faced worse than this."

Walton nodded and dashed back to the door frame where it was relatively warmer in comparison to the rest of the room. A blizzard was coming down from above now. It was growing in intensity. Balagor flexed his muscles and stood upright. A little cold wouldn't stop him.

It began to get fiercer though. Walton was huddled up by the door, looking up as he noticed a mechanical fan swirling around. There were giant cooling systems embedded in the walls all over the room and they had been fired up into full force.

"Get over here!" Walton urged as Balagor shook his head and called out above the ferocity of the blizzard.

"Don't wanna risk crashing down the roof!" He said. The icicles above were teetering very unsteadily in the storm. Balagor stood his ground and gritted his teeth.

"IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!" He roared out. Letting out a warcry at the top of his lungs he held ground as the intensity increased. Walton pressed the door release frantically, opening up the room to the North as the others stood by and saw the figure in the middle of the room get buffeted by the ice and the snow.

"We need to help!" Shouted Brie but it was too late. The storm was too intense. The air was impenetrable now. Nonetheless, some of them moved forth. The door to the South opened wide now and more people were stood watching in horror.

Boone scuttled across the floor as the snow stuck to his fur and blew it in all directions. He was joined by Mark and Marek. From the South side of the room Maria, Andrael and Peter dashed in to assist the figure in the middle of the room.

Then a huge shadow lurched out of the blizzard as Stonehard Lee thudded across. The icicles shook with each stomp but they didn't fall. He ran over and shielded Balagor but the icy winds were dying down. It was already too late.

The air slowly cleared as more people came through. Angela, Frederick and General Chuikov walked through. Rita came next, waving to the group at the North. Airlea stood silently by as the crowd gathered around the middle of the room. Hobert winced and thought he saw Wilt but...he was different somehow.

"It's Urk." Said Brie bitterly.

The others came through too. The group from the North saw Dern but helmetless and very much feminine in all aspects. Tyrese and Brittany walked in alongside Dennis and Eleanor came down from the North. Sophia joined the group followed by the final figure.

Kristoff stood in the ice by where the crowd was and looked over. Balagor was lying on the floor, unable to see much of anything. His body was covered in ice and snow and his teeth chattered.

"G---g-good t-to s-see y-y-you all ag-again..."

He began.

"D-don't....w-w-worry about m-me. I'm g-g-gonna just r-rest up a b-b-bit."

"Hang in there!" Urged Lee.

"I-I owe W-Willis s-s-somethin'." Said Balagor with a smile. "M-m-make sure h-he gets w-what's c-c-coming to h-him okay?"

And with that he fell deathly silent. Boone lifted up a necklace strewn with fingers and placed it gently on Balagor's chest with a sadness in his eyes. The group shivered in silence for some time before Kristoff finally coughed to break it.

"I think we have some catching up to do." He said, looking over at the towering figure of Lee. Lee nodded.

"Let's get started then." He said smiling and rubbing his head.

It is now Phase 44. Phase 44 will end in roughly 24 hours from now.

It's so great to see you all again!

Long time no see! :)

Tyrese, you got some splainin' to do!

Welcome to the Cult of Kristoff!

I like this color, it matches my gifset.

As you can see, I was married and widowed all within a week...

My friends! Glad to see you all again! ^_^

Noooooo :sad:

So, is Arimnestos dead?

Poor Balagor. :(

Tyrese, you got some splainin' to do!

Before we even get too far into this... >_>

He confessed last phase in the face of insurmountable evidence.

Tyrese

Alright, so I guess there's no easy way to say this, but yes. I am his twin, and as of right now my win condition is evil. I have no excuses but my own gullible self to blame for how this played out. My role is/was of that of a telepathic. My win condition/alignment before I chose to "infect" as Ezra said (which makes it sound evil) was not villainous, believe it or not. I haven't done anything evil in this game, or anything to harm this group. The only mistake I made was wanting the gun, but even that, was less for my win condition and more for my own greed of having a gun. So back when we were splitting into the two groups, I had to make my decision because I could only connect (not infect) with someone in the room. My intentions at that point were good. I chose Ezra because it seemed to me that he was well-liked by people and seemed like somebody who would be of use. I had it narrowed down to Kristoff (because of the staff and Roth thing) , Ezra, Lee and Airlea. Narrowed it down to Lee and Ezra, ultimately chose Ezra. Now, after I connected with him, my win condition changed to evil. I didn't know why it happened as Ezra claimed his win condition was good as well, maybe he was lying, maybe it was a trick of Willis. So I picked him so I could keep an eye on both sides and help relay information, but I told Ezra first that is why I chose him. He told me not to do it and said "twins" in the previous labyrinths were killed and that it would be stupid of me to tell you guys so I kept mum because I got scared and this is my first time playing this sort of game, and I had no prior knowledge of the previous two seasons. So I kept it to myself. Lots of time passed, and then the Queen told us that news of the twin as well, and she was painting it in a bad way as well, which only made it worse knowing I had a bad win condition and that coming out would probably not be looked upon nicely. We had known Sophia and Mark were twins. Also - the golden chest bomb. I should have died, it was an extra life. That dream was made up. My way of trying to inform you guys what happened. My intentions have never been evil contrary to my role. That was the only way I saw fit to do what I could. Ezra also told me I'd get lynched if I came out about my win condition (which I think is going to be my fate within the next few hours anyways). I did read back and I've hoped this whole time that if my win condition can change now, it can change later as well? (At least I hope so). So yeah, there it is. Everything. I'll give up the mermaid scale. I'll be a walking trap bait if you guys want, but I know most likely I will be lynched and killed for this. I just want you all to know I have never done anything to mislead or harm this group or any person. I've played this game as good aligned despite my win condition, in the hopes that it will change. I fully expect to be killed by you guys or the other group. I think that's covered it all? If I missed anything, feel free to ask. The voices are real, but they don't happen every two phases, they are sporadic. I only said every two phases because I thought I could communicate the other groups stuff vaguely without getting looked at weird as I felt being a twin would get me hurt. I was good, turned bad after the connection (or infection according to Ezra) and I've tried to be good and have been outside of this lie. So yeah. Lynch me. Push me. Leave me as Cerberus bait. I accept whatever you guys decide to do.

No balagor. :(

BALAGOR NO :( :( :(

Hobert...as you can see, Ezra is not here, but...but he asked me to do something, so....
